Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to meetings of the Governing Body and other administrative information relating to Cottesloe School (the School). The School provided the complainant with information in response to the request however it did not provide him with a letter referred to in a set of minutes which were disclosed dated 3 November 2011. The School provided the information to the complainant during the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation however it made two redactions under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the School correctly applied section 40(2) to make the redactions to the letter. However the Commissioner considers that the School breached its obligations under section 10(1) FOIA as it did not provide the complainant with a redacted copy of the letter within 20 working days of the request. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
